John and Sarah delve into the big stories of the week, including: A big win for Enoch Burke? Are conspiracists vindicated over Epstein? Is "stolen land" real? And should politicians go to jail for telling lies?
Ben and Jason bemoan the weather and the Government response to it, before turning to problems of entirely human origin: the State's funding of, apparently, everything, the Deposit Return Scheme's disastrous effect on Dublin and the omnipresence of gambling.
Laura Perrins and Nick Delehanty reflect on the sudden shift in global affairs at Davos. Meanwhile Nick outlines the Government's army of special advisers, and Laura reflects on recent twitter controversy.
This week, Ben and Jason discuss Helen McEntee’s great love of Europe, a Fianna Fáil TD’s suggestion that the State should steer clear of "anti-Government" CEOs for State contracts, and the political leanings of modern movies.
Laura Perrins and Nick Delehanty dive headlong this week into Ireland's "vulture fund culture" in the housing market, how it affects you, and how it distorts our politics. Also: Irish media as PR machine; and is social media radicalising the youth...for the better?
On this week's episode of The Long Game podcast, Ben and Jason discuss the tech illiteracy of the people regulating the Irish digital space, Trump's impending seizure of Greenland and the growing threat of a US-EU trade war, and the re-arrest of Enoch Burke.
Laura Perrins and her new regular co-host NICK DELEHANTY kick off their 2026 partnership in a week brimming with news: Mary McAleese hates baptism; Irish politicians hate accountability; The money might be running out; and AI might be taking over.
Jason and Ben discuss the week’s top news, from Sinn Fein failing to learn lessons, Grok being bold to the impending end of the 25 year-long Mercosur saga.
John and Sarah turn their attention wholly to the state of Ireland this week: Flooding, Housebuilding, Scrambler Bikes, Opinion polls, and Saint Brigid the Patron Goddess of Purple Haired Feminism.
After driving away listeners with 8 mins of Beckham chat, John & Sarah rip into the big story: Misinformation circulated by the ICCL and other state-funded agencies. Also: Gráinne Seoige's call for new laws, smartphones for kids, and the usual row over Trump:
John and Sarah start this week with analysis of the Government's immigration bill: Step forward, or too little too late? Also: Heated debate over that ICE shooting in America, analysis of Sinead Gibney's plan to nationalise X, and Mary McAleese's war on baptism:
John and Sarah open 2026 with a detailed discussion on how Climate policy drives the enormous cost of living in Ireland and Europe; and how Europe is the only place on earth where Governments seek to make things more expensive. Also: Musk's AI porn, Mercosur, and God-Emperor Trump:
Laura kicks off her 2026 podcast series with Daily Telegraph journalist Michael Murphy: They discuss the modern gender wars, the dominance of women in the culture, the effect on men's mental health and emotional expression. And there's some bonus geopolitics too:
Ben and Jason cross swords over the American intervention in Venezuela, before discussing lighter things like the new Dublin city traffic plan and the dire state of modern children's books.
With John still away, Sarah is joined by Keith Redmond (aka Mr. Sarah) to reflect on the turmoil of 2025 and the challenges facing Irish politicians in 2026:
In something of a Christmas special, Ben and Jason discuss whether 2025 went as they predicted politically-speaking, the weekend whooping of Andrew Tate and the ethics of Santa Claus.
Sarah returns for the final podcast of 2025, as she and John tuck into the Micheál Martin controversy, the rise of Candace Owens, and why society seems to pathologise normal male sexuality:
Ben and Jason discuss whether or not virginity is embarrassing following Piers Morgan's interview with a American streamer, as well as the merits and dangers of online age restrictions, and the tragic events at Bondi Beach over the weekend.
With Sarah absent for a second week, John is joined by CORMAC LUCEY, who fills an entertaining episode with discussion on the great Climate Climbdown, the Government's panic on defence, why we need to be much tougher on migration, and why politics is broken:
"It's not a cost of living crisis, it's a cost of government crisis" - Nick Delehanty joins Laura this week to discuss the cost of living in Ireland, his problems with Holly Cairns style politics, and why he'd like Ireland to be more "Swiss Neutral" than "Irish Neutral":

He has got to be one of the most annoying interviewee. talking over people and zero self awareness
excellent as always
The RIC were an armed colonial police.
fantastic guys... great discussion..
Guys, you need more energy.
What a lot of shit!
Contrary to what you said. The boats do broadcast to NGO boats and navies to pick them up.
38. Lads they are not gaining power and doing nothing with it. They are radically changing social policy and our demographics along with it.
Astounding podcast 're migration. Ye appear to be adopting the open borders talking points. 20% of the population being non national is more than an abstract talking point.
34 - It's about time you got around to migration. It's the most important issue on the Right and the most significant issue for our country into the future.
26 - I wrote to Charlie Flanagan who replied that we would take Bibi if she asked. Is there any way she could get word of this to her?
24 - Wise words. The open borders fanatics caused, and continue to cause, more deaths than any other policy. Australia shows the way forward 're boat migration. EU gradually coming around to that logical policy.
Interview 10 - A thought provoking interview. I'll be reading his book.
Interview 3. Twitter should be taken seriously. If journalists/politicians and NGOs do. Conservatives/liberals should too.
10- re direct provision. It is unfortunately necessary. Those in DP for a long time are there because their claims were rejected and they are allowed to submit endless appeals at taxpayer expense. The solution. Deport illegal immigrants sooner.
09 - The fawning over monarchy, in particular the British one, in Irish Conservative circles, is so irritating.
07 - Australia shows the way re boat migrants. Migration to Australia by boat has stopped. Even Labour in Australia now accept the policy and that it works.
I feel I must defend Gaelscoils. In Wexford where I live it's just the same mix of social classes as at all the other schools. Indeed there's a constant refrain from elites now to vilify them. It's probably more "white" but that's hardly surprising given they promote Gaelic culture.
Is "Community Care"/ primary health care centres not just a return to local small hospitals that were all shut down?
